New computer

[Wyrda]

I just got a new Mac labtop and i am trying to install the game but i am computer illiterate. this comes up.

An error occurred while launching/running the application.

Title: Illarion Client
Vendor: illarion.org
Category: Invalid Argument error

The application has requested a version of the Java 2 platform (JRE) that is currently not locally installed. Java Web Start was unable to automatically download and install the requested version. The JRE version must be installed manually.


I assume i have to download Java but i dont exactly know how. any tips?

Java is on the download page... Download it and run the setup.

ok i have downloaded everything on the download page and it still wont let me do it. that same message comes up after i press "details". What do i do?!?!?!

Illarion hasn't been tested on the Mac platform. There was another user with the exact same problem.

or you can contact owlmanatt, aka Nevas on the forums He helped Jen's friend

Ok ill try to contact him, but did he help her on a forum that i can just look at?

and it is a labtop that my older sis gave me that she may want back someday so i can't sell it...

[Azuros]

Afraid not, you can get his msn messenger and contact him there

[Wyrda]

i can't even get msn messenger on this piece of crap... ugh i'm so mad. I'm finally starting to do something in this game and now i can't play anymore!!!

[NirAntae]

Not to be rude or disheartening... but if you can't even get a messenger to run... give up.

You can try and contact Owl (his contact page is posted in the thread I started), but I don't know if he can do anything.

This may help

ya actually i got to there and tried to download but it still didn't work, thanks though. On a different computer i talked to owl and he said that it would not work with that mac so that sucks. ahh.....

If you need messangers for Mac you should try a hybrid messanger. They work pretty well mostly.

I found one for Mac:

I have removed useless comments like "sell your mac". This is a support forum and there is always a sound technical reason like incompatible/old versions of Java and/or Mac OS.

ok NirAntae, to start off with it was two, and they were at the exact same time. Owl helped me and i gave up hope like last week. Check the last time i posted in one of these it hasn't been for a while. So out of nowhere you tell me to stop posting? i dont really understand....

[NirAntae]

You only need to make one thread for one problem. I didn't mean for you to stop *posting*, just stop making multiple posts for the same problem.

And I posted that when you did, not some random time later.

And I didn't mean to be rude, I am sorry for that. I've been a bit short with people the last few days because of personal issues (well, disasters is probably a better word, but whatever).

[Wyrda]

Thank you for the apology....
